Aanvullende informatie

Charles of Egmond's father, Adolf, was killed fighting against Burgundian forces at the Battle of Tournai in 1477 — the same year this gulden was struck. Charles himself spent much of his youth as a hostage at the Burgundian court, and Guelders' minting activity during this narrow window reflects the duchy's fierce effort to reassert autonomy following the death of Charles the Bold at Nancy that same year. The sudden Burgundian collapse created a political vacuum that Egmond moved quickly to exploit.

Delmonte's rarity rating for this type is among the higher classifications in the series.
